Sleep On It: 5 Overnight Hairstyles That Let You Wake Up and Go

Go ahead and hit snooze. These five 'dos get you gorgeous while you sleep

One of the biggest time-depleters in the morning? Your hair. Sure, you can swipe on some lipstick in the parking lot before you head into the office, but good luck fitting your blow dryer and your curling iron into your purse (let alone finding an accessible outlet). And yet, nothing lets the world know you hit snooze a dozen times like bed head, cowlicks, and noticeable dry shampoo overload.

As a night owl who shudders at the thought of wearing buns all week in order to get out the door on time, I'm happy to report that ingenious "overnight" hairstyles exist. With these five hairstyles, you do your prep work the night before, so you can wake up, shake it out, and go. The cherry on top? The main ingredient for all of these hairstyles is something you (hopefully) have a steady supply of: sleep. No crazy texturizing treatment, no damaging hot tool, just a pillow and some good old-fashioned z's.
